Sometimes you just have to
LET GO
of a good thing
because it is getting in the way of a greater thing.
The GREATER thing is
our relationship
with GOD.
We know that HE wants us to
"cast all our cares" .
We know that HE wants us to
"not be anxious" .
We know that HE wants us to
"not be afraid".
We know that HE wants us to
not be so that HE can be so much more than
whatever or whomever
is taking up too much space our hearts & our minds
that is robbing us of the greatest gift ever~
GOD!
Okay, this isn't rocket science
but oh how I make it be
when all GOD wants is for you & I
to
"'Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 2:27)
as HIS SON
tells us you & I.
WHY?
"We love Him because HE first loved us" (1 John 4:19).
I don't know why but tears are filling my whole being right now
because the love for my first love
is coming back.
I have been missing GOD~
because I have allowed a good thing
that I believed would bring me closer
when instead
it was pulling me away.
I just started my Master's degree in Christian Studies
because I am a BIBLE nerd
because I love being in the WORD and studying the WORD
because I am in love with the WRITER.
But since I have started classes I have been pulled away from
GOD~
as the WORD was just becoming words.
I missed GOD.
A good thing is getting in the of a GREATER thing
and I believe I have to
LET IT GO.
What is getting in the way of your having an intimate love relationship with GOD?
Is it a something or something or maybe just yourself?
Well time will tell as I have a big assignment due at midnight
and my heart is telling me to
LET GO
so that
GOD can have first place in my heart again.
I am not telling you all to quit something you started because it is getting hard.
I was doing this because I love being in the WORD,
but I have been doing it without footnotes, and endnotes and bibliographies.
Thank you GOD for releasing me from something that has come between
YOU & I.
I have to
LET IT GO
because
HE is WHO I need more of.
What do you need to LET GO?
FROM RAGS TO RICHES~
More of HIM. Less of me.
